The other thing that the teff harvest brings to mind is Luke 10:2 "And he said to them, ""The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into this harvest."" We have been blessed this year to have all four of the missionaries that our church supports home on furlough. It has been great to be able to spend time with them and hear how they are reaching people in the places that God has put them: England, Mexico City, Peru and Utah. We are thankful for their ministries and the faithfulness that they have shown in their ministries there. We don't have to be on a foreign mission field to be "laborers into this harvest" we can share the gospel wherever God places us. There is however a great need for believers to be willing to share the gospel abroad. Our adoption journey has broadened our view of our world and helped us to better realize this need more than ever. Pray that we will continue to be patient for God's will and his timing as we continue on this amazing journey that God has graciously put us on.

Great Post! Hope your referral comes SOON!
Enjoyed reading some of your posts. We live in Warsaw and brought our 2 kiddos home from Ethiopia earlier this year. Wishing we were a smidge closer to Lafayette (GO BOILERS!!!! My hubby and I are both alumni) so we could join your Lafayette area yahoo group. If you decide to expand the "distance requirement" let us know:)
Hoping you will have a referral soon!

What a great way to make tangible the connection God is making in your hearts to Ethiopia and your child! A beautiful daily reminder to pray and trust God to do His will in your adoption and in the country! I love it.
My adopted children are from FL...I'm trying to think about what we could grow? Maybe a Palm Tree! : )
